Guitar virtuoso George Lynch (ex-DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB) took time out of his busy schedule to break down some of his favorite tracks on Let The Truth Be Known by SOULS OF WE for BraveWords.com:

'Let The Truth Be Known': "That is the show opener, if we do a show? It is meant to be right in your face. Mike Wengren is on drums from DISTURBED. It is all tuned down in your face Heavy. I think the song speaks to the frustration with the business and industry and how it is changing. How we have high hopes for a democracy in music. It is about how overlooked the writers and the performers really are in machine that is the music industry. The co-modification of the industry really destroys the heart and soul of why and how and what reason it is created. It is very unfortunate. It is like a prisoner where you can't take away their dignity and their innermost thoughts. There is a lot of angst on this record and I think this songs displays it more than any other song. Nobody I work with on this record are millionaires and living in beach houses in Malibu. We are all still very, very hungry and still have a vision. This record and the performance we are still trying to visualize it is in our heads while we are trying to materialize it. "

'January': "That is actually an older song that I did with lack of a better project title West Hollywood Starfish. It is a song that has been worked from one project to another. It is sort of an addiction song. But done in a much more colorful, poetic way. Even a humorous way. It is playful, but definitely speaks to a darker period in our lives."

'Skeleton Key': "Skeleton Key is a horror movie on vinyl. We really talk a lot about this song and slashing it out in a video. A horror video director like ROB ZOMBIE could do something with this. If you have a lyric or write about vampires, a frightening thing that we can't tame. The thing that we don't know and that is why we fear it so desperately. It is the fear that we carry within ourselves."

'Everything I Want': "I actually had a hand in the writing in the lyrics on this tune. If I remember correctly, I think the lyrics allude to materialism to a certain extent. People tend to be but shouldn’t be defined by not by who there are contrary to character but what they have. This is how society defines you by what you have."

'Sorry To Say': "I think that was written mostly by Andrew Freedman, who was the singer I was working with before London. He contributed to some of the lyrics on the record."

'Gandhi's Got A Gun': "This is a song that I kicked around for a while. What this song is about is that it is painting a psychotic picture of two conflicting interests of human nature. We are conflicted creatures. It is a constant struggle."

'Push It': "'Push It' is definitely sexy. It is stripper music. Back in Lynch Mob we used to test our songs at strip clubs. We put out 'Wicked Sensation' and if they liked it, then we would put it on the record. We're a sexy band. It is part of rock and roll. It is unfortunate that we did have to change some of the lyrics on this record to conform to Wal-Mart. That was one of the songs that we really had to scale back a bit."

'Psycho Circus': "That is a big band kind of vibe. Big band drums, kind of that era and sound in a circus environment. I did find out from our copyright that KISS had a song with that title, which I didn't know."

'Nork 13': "It is one of the songs that London and I in a band that we had before Brides Of Destruction called MICRODOT. We added a little bit more drums to it, and I added a little bit more guitar work."

'Adeline': "On this song, I can speak to what we did on the recording process, and it is kind of a BEN HARPER kind of song. There is a lot

of slide guitar in there. It is kind of has a Lynch Mob sound. Near the end, we did a thing with chains and it has this kind of chain gang vibe. So that was pretty cool."

'Under The Dead Tree': "Actually, this was a vocal song. Now it is an instrumental. London had written some very dark lyrics to that song and personal stuff. That was a very tough song to get right. We had to re-work that song many times to get it right. I am still not completely happy with it. The vocal version of that song, when I would listen to it would leave me feeling kind of strange."

Lynch recently checked in with BraveWords.com correspondent Deb Rao to unveil Souls Of We, which also features London LeGrand (ex-BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION) on vocals, Johny Crow on bass, and Yael on drums.
